Title: You Can Do It, Sam
Author: Amy Hest is an author of more than thiry books for young readers. Many of her books affectionately discuss family and intergenerational themes.
Publisher: Candlewick (2003)
Genre: Fiction
Grade Level: 1-3
Brief Synopsis: This is a story about a little bear and his mother who bake cakes for people. The little bear delivers the cake all by himself in the snow, while his mother watches him. At first the little bear was scared to do it alone, but when he returns home he was so proud of himself for delivering the cake all alone.
Theme/Skill: Independence/Life Skills/ Language Arts/ Generosity
Pre-activity: Have the students brainstorm the first time that they can remember ever doing anything alone. Then have some of the students share their stories with the class. During this time I will ask them questions about how they felt before they did the task independently and then after they completed the task.
Post-activity: Have the students complete a KWL chart about the winter season.
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
This is a book about teaching children independence. This book can be used in classrooms where students do not see the snow. This book can help students explore what snow is. I think it is a great book for all teachers to read to their class. I also think it is a great book for the winter season.
